Ingredients

• 250 grams spaghetti (or any pasta of choice)
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them together with the salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden. If desired, add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tossing the pasta continuously to ensure the eggs cook gently and form a creamy sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add the reserved pasta cooking water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 7

Plate the pasta and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if using. Serve immediately.
